well for the last 3-4 months now i've been losing a lot of hair . originally I thought it was due to me leaving the dye in the last time i coloured it black , but after seeing my local gp he thought it was a vitamin b deficiency which i took a crapload of tablets for. month or two later and my hair is still falling out , i went to see a dematoligist the other day and apparently i have a condition called Telogen Effluvium. I went through my whole history of the last year or so and he was pretty certain its that. From the looks of it when I started working at tradelink I lost a heap of weight , about 16 kilos in a month or so , now not being that big to start off , losing that much weight I was actually burning muscle off because I had no fat left. Now that coupled with the fact that I was with Casey (who is a vegetarian) I wasnt eating much meat at all and therefore not getting enough protein in my diet. He told me that the signs wouldnt have started showing till about 3-4 months after the initial shock which works out about right (it started falling out around the time me and Casey split up). Now he said the condition cures itself which is good , but it takes a really long time , because hairs only grow about a cm a month , which is bad.

Now in between all this explaining about all my symptoms to hopefully get an answer about what I have, I explained my cracked lip , which I got just before Casey and I broke up , which I cured with some anti-fungal tablets , now that was apparently thrush , which Im guessing Casey gave me , the doctor was concerned about this so together with my b12 follow up blood test I had to have a freakin HIV blood test. I wasnt too worried about it as Casey never told me anything about her having AIDS but the more I think about the more Im starting to freak out. I mean it would explain why she was so cautious about wanting to use condoms even tough she was on the pill , at the time I thought she was just paranoid about getting pregnant , but what if she had AIDS?!?! I've only been with 2 girls so Im pretty sure its not me , the last girl I was with was like 6 years ago and we only did it once , and that was with protection. Man , Im so totally freaked. It would explain Casey's insistance that she wouldnt grow old either , she always said that she will die young. I've been praying a lot lately , man I dont want to die.
